Top Premier League club could offer Man United outstanding swap deal for Jadon Sancho instead of Ben Chilwell or Raheem Sterling

The Manchester United roster for their first two league games of the season does not include Jadon Sancho.

Following a disagreement with manager Erik ten Hag, the 24-year-old spent the second half of the previous campaign on loan at Borussia Dortmund.

At the start of the season, Ten Hag excluded him from the matchday squad against Arsenal because to his subpar training output, a charge that Sancho openly denied. His dismissal from the team and a six-month loan to the Bundesliga followed as a result.

Sancho is still listed as a transfer even though he made amends with Ten Hag during the preseason and returned to the team, taking part in the preseason tour and playing off the bench in the Community Shield.

Over the weekend, a number of stories suggested that Chelsea are intriguing.

Gianluca Di Marzio claimed that The Blues would be prepared to offer Ben Chilwell or Raheem Sterling in a deal for Sancho.

However, they are both players who carry significant risk. Sterling has looked extremely poor since his move to Stamford Bridge, while Chilwell would join the list of injury-prone left-backs at United.

Another potential option for a swap deal could be a midfield player, as Get Italian Football News reported, and one wildcard option could convince United of an agreement.

Carney Chukwuemeka is a midfield player who joined Chelsea from Aston Villa in 2022. He was extremely highly rated at that time, but injuries have played a major role in his stunted development so far.

It has been well reported that Chelsea want the young midfielder to leave the club as they look to streamline their squad before the transfer deadline.

Chukwuemeka is still only 20 years of age, though, and could add important depth to a crucial position at Old Trafford.

The potential upside, with the player once being touted as one of the best talents in the country, is also much more attractive than either Chilwell or Sterling, who both have too many concerns to make a deal without the desired £40 million worthwhile
